NFF has said they want to shock Nigerians with the time to name the new Super Falcons’ coach. The nation’s women senior national team is without a substantive coach after coach Eucharia Uche was sacked following her failure to qualify Nigeria for the London 2012 Olympics.

The NFF board in their last emergency meeting asked its technical sub-committee to shop for a replacement.Barrister Chris Green, head of the committee told SuperSport.com that they want to be discreet and avoid too much public attention in their search job.

“We are consulting widely and thoroughly for a capable coach who will help us to rebuild the team. We don’t want any coach without the requisite coaching experience.

“We hope to tidy up our work before the end of the year.

“We want people to relax, pressure is too much on us.

“We won’t give out a particular time to name the coach, we will do it when people least expect it, we want to make it a surprise.”

The NFF board member hinted that the search for coach Uche’s replacement will be more inward.

“We’re looking inward for the coach, where we can’t find a good one we will go outside. We must get it right this time around,” he said.
